Following the conclusion of the 2024 Zozo Championship, the PGA Tour's only stop in Japan, we're re-heating this Jumbo Ozaki Spotlight from May 2020.

His flamboyant style, allegations of cheating, playing with illegal “hot” equipment, and rumors of ties to organized crime are also discussed in detail.
